Discovery Times Channel to Promote First Amendment

To promote the public’s understanding of the news media and the First Amendment, the Freedom Forum has partnered with the Discovery Times Channel, a joint venture between Discovery Communications Inc. and The New York Times Co.

In the first joint project, the Discovery Times Channel will air multiple 60-second ads about the Freedom Forum’s annual State of the First Amendment survey on Friday between 8-11 p.m. EST. The ads feature Ken Paulson, executive director and senior vice president of the Freedom Forum’s First Amendment Center; Janeane Garofalo, actress; and Christopher Hitchens, journalist and author.
